B At just age 16, Zhen Xin, from Beijing, finished the “Five Great Mountains Challenge” in August in only five days. She became the youngest person to do it. The Five Great Mountains Challenge is about climbing China’s five greatest mountains—Taishan Mountain in Shandong, Huashan Mountain in Shaanxi, Songshan Mountain in Henan, Hengshan Mountain in Shanxi, and Hengshan Mountain in Hunan in 100 days. Because of the hot August weather, Zhen did most of her hiking at night. “When you can’t see what’s coming next, many of your fears and worries go away. You’ re less likely to back down,” Zhen explained. Zhen said the key to hiking is one’s mentality (心态). Whenever she came across a vendor booth (货摊) along the hiking road, she would remind herself to carry on until the next one. And whenever she felt she was about to give up, she would reward (奖励) herself with a drink or some snacks. Of all the mountains she climbed, Huashan Mountain stood out as her favorite due to (由于) its steeper trails. “They’re more dangerous than those of the other four mountains,” she said. But instead of making her afraid, the challenge improved her concentration (专注力). However, Zhen said the most daunting hike was climbing Taishan Mountain. It was due to the largest tourist rush she had ever seen. “We could only move up one step every five minutes or so,” she recalled. Zhen decided to climb the five great mountains when she finished middle school. “I wanted something that would allow me to truly see my growth and changes over time. As I grow older, I want something to share with others,” she said. 26. Zhen Xin is the youngest person to ________. A. climb all of China’s five great mountains B. climb the five great mountains alone C. climb the five great mountains in five days D. finish the climbing challenge in 100 days 27. How did Zhen overcome fear while hiking? A. By having drinks or snacks. B. By thinking little of the way ahead. C. By never looking back. D. By hiking in the daytime. 28. The underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 5 means ________. A. difficult B. special C. unforgettable D. popular 29. According to the passage, we can infer (推断) that ________. A. Zhen did most of her climbing at night because it was safe B. Steeper trails are challenging C. Zhen treats herself with a drink or some snacks when she is bored D. People normally like to climb Huashan Mountain instead of Taishan Mountain 30. The purpose of the passage is to ________. A. show Zhen finish the challenge in order to build a strong body B. remember Zhen’s middle school life C. show off Zhen’s experience with others D. see Zhen’s growth and progress C 配对阅读。左栏是五位同学的爱好简介，右栏是一些地方或活动的简介。请为每个人选出适合的地方或活动。其中右栏有两项是多余的。 ____31____.
